Contact Form 7 Is Safe Again
Written by Stefan Vervoort on April 26, 2009
A few days back, Jeffro from WP Tavern caught Mark Jaquith telling the world that the Contact Form 7 plugin has exploited security issues. He highly recommended to uninstall the plugin until he has made an security update.
I was pretty shocked and since I use this plugin on this blog, I had uninstalled the contact form for a while.
Fortunately, takayukister, the author of the plugin, has anticipated pretty fast and already made a patch available. Just head over to your plugin’s page and click update to be safe again. Thanks Takayukister.
For users of this plugin
It is highly recommended to upgrade to the new version of the plugin if you want to be safe from exploitation.
Oh, and my contact form is up and running again too.
